The use of enzyme could facilitate pathogen penetration into plant host. Here the combination of cellulase and pectinase was ascertained on the pathogenicity of F. compactum (1.4 × 10(6)??propagules ml(-1)) on broomrape tubercles. F. compactum alone infected all the inoculated tubercles but did not kill any significant number. Infested tomato roots that were inoculated with mycelia plus pectinase (20?U?ml(-1)) had over 50% tubercles dead one week after treatment. Those inoculated with mycelia plus cellulase (20?U?ml(-1)) had above 60% mortality. Mixtures of mycelial plus the two enzymes (10?U?ml(-1) of each enzyme) showed synergy. The activity catalyzed by an enzyme is a measure of the amount of enzyme present. It was shown that, in a 1?mg (10?U?mg(-1)) cellulase used, 0.055?mg pectinase (1.1?U?mg(-1)) is present. This explains why mycelial plus cellulase mix contends with mycelial plus the two enzymes.
